1. Yes, you can close it and withdraw
2. No, it won't link.
3. No, They can't trace your old PF Account.
(As it is 4 years old) Since it is inoperative account now, you can contact the inoperative account helpdesk (Online or EPFO Office) to withdraw.

Thank you Mandeep & Saravanan. So, 1) I dont have to contact the company to withdraw the amount? I just need to contact the Inoperative help desk?
You know your circumstances better, withdraw if you MUST. You were a Family Pension Member. Hence your earlier & current service will be added for pension benefit. You would have got interest on 4 year period too. There are many orgs which encourage employees to contribute at higher than 12%. Interest is compounded; works out to about Rs. 16.4 on Rs. 100 @8%. Check it yourself to know. The fund is created for providing you financial security at age of 58-60. As far as possible don't withdraw.
In Form 11 that you have filled / will have to fill, these details will have to be declared. There is possibility that the PF authorities may come to know later about false declaration made by you, if any.

As in your case, (as per my understanding) you are not giving any false declarations. You left the company and you are truly unemployed after that. As per Act, you are eligible to withdraw the PF amount, if you are unemployed for 60 days from the leaving date.
99% of the withdrawal cases are such that they leave the company and join in another company immediately, but apply for withdrawal stating they are unemployed. I never come to know in my career that PF dept denied those applications.
Current UAN Concept may restrict but still this practice is not reduced. In your case, you are not into UAN (year 2012) so, don't worry.
